Part of the Allston Rock City experience, Mr. Music is there when you need them. It's not huge, like other big chains around Boston, but it's got a lot to offer. They have a huge array of electro-harmonix guitar pedals and other wierd gizmos. They're also priced slightly under websites on many items, which is a bonus when you weigh in shipping and handling expenses. They're also likely to cut you a deal on used items lying around, $5 bucks for a boss daisy chain out of the box or maybe a free cable. Mr. Music also has strings, tuners, wall mounts, guitars, banjos, basses, amps, sheet music, and everything else you would expect in a music store. They have CDs and records too. You might get sucked into a strange conversation or have to sit through someone playing happy birthday in C minor, but it's probably better than some kid trying to play metallica in Guitar Center.
